Everyone of course thinks that putting the Boston bomber’s mug on the cover of The Rolling Stone was perhaps the worst editorial decision made by any magazine, publication, etc. Ever !!! So, since everyone is on the same page here, and chiming in on the egregiously obvious I thought I would just throw up the lyrics of the classic tune which satires success in the music business. Here they are:

Well, we’re big rock singers

We got golden fingers

And we’re loved everywhere we go…(That sounds like us)

We sing about beauty and we sing about truth

At ten thousand dollars a show…(Right)

We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills

But the thrill we’ve never known

Is the thrill that’ll getcha when you get your picture

On the cover of the Rollin’ Stone

(Rollin’ Stone…) Wanna see my picture on the cover

(Stone…) Wanna buy five copies for my mother…(Yes)

(Stone…) Wanna see my smilin’ face

On the cover of the Rollin’ Stone…(That’s a very very good idea)

I got a freaky ole lady name a cocaine Katy

Who embroiders on my jeans

I got my poor ole grey haired daddy

Drivin’ my limousine

Now it’s all decided to blow our minds

But our minds won’t really be blown

Like the blow that’ll gitcha when you get your picture

On the cover of the Rollin’ Stone

(Rollin’ Stone…) Wanna see our pictures on the cover

(Stone…) Wanna buy five copies for our mothers…(Yeah)

(Stone…) Wanna see my smilin face

On the cover of the Rollin’ Stone

[Talking]

Hey, I know how

Rock and roll…

[Instrumental]

Ah, that’s beautiful

We got a lot of little teenage blue eyed groupies

Who do anything we say

We got a genu-wine Indian Guru

Who’s teaching us a better way

We got all the friends that money can buy

So we never have to be alone

And we keep gettin’ richer but we can’t get our picture

On the cover of the Rollin’ Stone

(Rollin’ Stone…) Wanna see my picture on the cover

(Stone…) Wanna buy five copies for my mother…(Wa wa)

(Stone…) Wanna see my smilin’ face

On the cover of the Rollin’ Stone

On the cover of the Rollin’…

(Stone…) Wanna see my picture on the cover

[Talking]

I don’t know why we ain’t on the cover, baby…

(Stone…) Wanna buy five copies for my mother

[Talking]

We’re beautiful subjects…

(Stone…) Wanna see my smilin’ face

[Talking]

I ain’t kiddin’, we would make a beautiful cover…

On the cover of the Rollin’ Stone…

[Talking]

Fresh shot, right up front, man…

I can see it now, we’ll be up in the front…

Smilin’, man…

Ahh, beautiful…

Rolling Stone magazine should be banned for all time. Irresponsible decision rubbing salt into the wound. Why give this guy a place reserved for the greatest rock stars of all time? He is dirt that should be swept under the carpet. Shame on RS.

Hey, I’ve been incredibly critical of Howard Stern for years but man I have to admit , he’s right on here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PABQGQQV-5Q Men are pigs & only care about physical beauty ??? Today, women are worse !!! The response of some of these women, actually make me ill.
